bought prior to Hurricane Irma. was able to keep phone working when power went out

Nice piece of another gadget. Sounds good to have tool, flash light, glass breaker, charger for your phone or car. Other than flash light, haven't tried anything yet.

The only thing I don't see a good thing is that the only way to charge it it's in your car there's no other way, but overall it's a nice piece of equipment.

Frustrated with my existing car charger’s sloooooow performance with my Samsung droid cell phone, I took a chance that this worked as fast as advertised. Much better than expected in speed of recharge. And for those who have “fussy” cars (like MB) or "shallow" cigarette lighter ports that do not always work with generic charger plugs, this one fits securely. The fact that you can also use the tip to break the car window in an emergency was not the intention of the purchase, but it is an added safety bonus. A+ choice.

This product not only charges my cell phone in my truck, but doubles as a portable charger when I take it with me. I have used it to charge my dying phone for a couple hours, while on the treadmill at the gym and it still had some juice left in it. Anyone that has a phone should get this handy gadget. The downside is that it does not come with a usb/micro-usb cord (or any cord) and does not portably charge as long as some of the other devices on the market. Overall, great tool for keeping the phone going from car to wherever.
